Sony and other makers would run out o business if they made these little things last a lifetime or if they provided lifetime warranties. Every product released to the market has an economic life.

419 scams I found a very good resource on Nigerian 419 scams. I blogged about it and you can read that entry and watch the video here. I understand not all Nigerians are fraudsters and scammers. It is just unfortunate the world sees them as such. But in my opinion, it's not a totally...

* rolls eyes Does it matter if the American president is black, white, Asian or something else? Apparently, in the US, as long as a person can claim to be a direct descendant of an African, he's African American. Same is true with Asians, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders. And for the life of...

Offshore bank account in tax havens If you are doing business in tax havens - e.g.the Bahamas or the Cayman Islands - it's best to bank with them. Where's your business located? You can begin by looking up local banks in the place where your business is. There should be a directory of banks...

The tax havens you mentioned are great options if you are doing business in those places. But if you are only looking for an offshore account to protect your assets and ensure your privacy, I would suggest banking with the Swiss. Swiss banks allow non-resident accounts and are very trustworthy.

You need to speak to your accountant. If you don't have one, hire one. Some accountants practice as an organization, similar to the way lawyers run law firms. Browse for accounting firms in your area and look at their services. Tax planning and international banking is a regular service they offer.

the logic of tax planning Offshore companies and accounts are the result of tax planning. You want to pay the least taxes, ergo, you look for ways to reduce your taxes. That is where offshore companies and accounts come into play. Perhaps this is clearer if you remember that you don't only get...

I doubt if any debit card can be anonymous. After all, bank-issued cards have card numbers that can be tracked. If you are looking toward an anonymous account, you might want to see numbered accounts. The Swiss are the most reputable bankers as far as confidentiality of information is concerned.

Great site! Thank you for sharing. The website is a wonderful resource for everyone doing business in any way.

CCLogic looks very interesting. I enjoy discussing business issues and whatnots. It's an interest. I'm glad to have found this forum and I definitely look forward to learning a lot from everyone here whilst I share what I know.

Your little trick would have worked (probably) have you had a dial-up connection. You see, websites track the IP addresses of all site visitors. Every email address registered with a site is matched by an IP. That being said, dial-up connections give you a different IP every time you get online...

Income is a business term that is appropriately looked at from an accounting point of view. All other references or uses of the word income are derived from the accounting definition and in many cases, where regular people use the term, it's used loosely.

Friday the 13th is as good as any to announce a bad news. That is, if you aren't superstitious; if you are, it's the worst timing. (Perhaps, they were after the morbid effect?)

Paypal's payment partners depends on where you're at. But generally, Visa and Mastercards are accepted. As for Cirrus, you'll have to go to your country's local PayPal home page. IF you see the Cirrus logo on the page, then you can verify a PayPal account with a Cirrus card; if you don't, then...

If you're in the US, the easiest way to add funds to your PayPal account without the credit card charges is to transfer funds from a US account to your PayPal account. The US has ceased non-resident accounts so those who are not living in the US can not open a US bank account. Take advantage of...

I don't see why not. If you supply different information for separate business accounts, there shouldn't be any problem. Different information being different business names, addresses, card numbers, etc.

As long as you're running a legitimate business, why would you NOT want the "hassle" of chargebacks or disputes? You can't have a legitimate business without those. I must say your question made me think, " Is this person selling pipe dreams or snake oils?":

I used PayPal pay for hosting services so yes, it's very possible. You can offer PayPal as payment option along with other online payment facilities - credit cards, Moneybookers, AlertPay, etc.
